This is definitely one of the best games I have played this year, and for a good reason. If you've played any games in the Henry Stickmin series at all, then you'll love this collection. You get every game in the series remastered and the game to finish things off, Completing the Mission. I won't spoil anything for any game in the series, but I guarantee that you'll enjoy this collection.

EDIT (01/18/2023) - Wow... this game has changed a lot since the bot invasion started in 2019. I mean the game is still good and all, but just I never imagined something like this could happen. Thank ♥♥♥♥ community servers are still a thing.

What can I say about this game that hasn't been said already? This game is a timeless masterpiece that will (hopefully) live on for years to come.

Besides, what other game can you think of that has a hat-based economy where you can run around slapping people to death with a fish? I honestly don't think I can come up with enough reasons to play this.

...did I mention the game is free? Just play TF2 already.

Overall, it's a pretty good visual novel for a while, but...

Actually, why am I even writing this? The game's free to play. Just play it yourself.

Overall, this is a great game to play after a stressful day, or just to unwind. It's a nice casual game which you don't see that often anymore today. After playing the game for a while, let me just say that it was worth every last penny. IIt has 9 different game modes to play, so you won't be lacking on variety. I'll go into detail of those below here. But if you don't care, tl;dr buy the game.

Classic Mode
This gamemode is simple. You just match gems until you have no more moves left, after that, the game ends and you get your score. This may be my second favorite gamemode out of the game overall.

Action Mode
This gamemode is like classic, except now, there's a timer to worry about that gives you less time every level. This is may actually be (in my opinion,) the best timed Bejeweled game ever, so it's worth it for that alone. I think that points may be doubled here since I have much higher scores here than any other gamemode.

Puzzle Mode
Here, we have something different. Instead of score (like every other gamemode), you just match the gems until there's nothing left. Simple as that. This gave me a real challenge and only asked for a hint 3 times. If you want something to challenge your brain, this is for you.

Endless Mode
This isn't really a gamemode since there is no game. It's something you can't win or lose. I guess the only challenge would be to max out the score counter. I didn't enjoy this compared to the other gamemodes as much.

The Secret Modes
I won't spoil these to keep it a suprise, but if you want to know what they are, be my guest.

Twilight Mode: This gamemode is like classic, except gems come down and up. The background is also darker than normal. I think the game also runs slower than usual as well.
Hyper Mode: This is like action, except everything is 4x as fast. Here, you have to think fast. One slip up, and the timer can come crashing down to zero. The backgrounds' colours are inverted too.
Cognito Mode: This is like the puzzle mode, except that now, there are levels and a score. (Not that it matters.) You solve five random puzzles with some adjustments each level, and then you move on. Also the game never ends.
Finite Mode: This is action mode, except now there's gems that are only in puzzle mode here. This can be both helpful, and your worst nightmare.
Classic Mode: "Ehhhhh? Nani? Didn't you say there was already a classic mode?" I did, but this is actually a classic mode. This is like the normal mode from the original Bejeweled game also on Steam. Basically, there's no special gems. I recommend typing in "oldskool" for a true effect.

The one complaint I have.
The only thing I bad I can think of, is that if you blow up a power gem next to a hyper cube. After that, it's just gone. 5 gems down the drain. If you can, try not to make power gems next to a hyper cube.

Final Word
Overall, this is a great casual game to play from time to time. I recommend this game for anybody. Literally anybody. I would even recommend this to that one scrub who plays nothing but Call of Duty all the time. I played this game when it first came out, and I'm still playing it today. That's how great this game is. If you have the money, buy this.
